Scanning Z probe support in RRF 3.5
-
@dc42 alright thanks. I'll give it a try in a bit.
-
@dc42 that fixed both of my issues. Thanks.
-
very interested in this, can you stick me down as a beta tester if you want one.
regards

@DeadNewbie I can supply firmware binaries with scanning probe support for anyone who wants to try them. The support will be included in firmware 3.5.0-rc.1 which I hope to release 2 or 3 weeks from now.

@dc42 are you guys likely to release a toolboard with a i2c connector?

For the future, we are considering making a dedicated CAN-connected board to support the LDC1612 as well as tool board variants with this chip on board.

@dc42 I was trying to test z probe scanning but it seems the probe is reading wrong. It says 22768239 under z probe on dwc dashboard. When I run G29 K1 it scans the bed but the max deviation is 1256mm and after it's done scanning it keeps lowering the Z axis until it bottoms out and grinds.

@lparnell34 you may need to adjust the drive level of the sensor. Run M122 B# where # is the address of the tool board and look at the LDC1612 status at the end. It should report the drive level but it may also report "amplitude error". If you run M122 again it should report a new drive level and no error. After that the sensor should work properly. This is best done with the sensor as close to the bed as you expect it to get during scanning. I set a nominal Z height of 3mm as the trigger height in G31 and I don't expect more than 1mm of error, so I did this at 2mm Z height.

@oliof missed that. Thanks for pointing that out

Here is another sensor.

@Herve_Smith I should imagine the one @gringo linked is a clone of the Beacon probe. But it does seem to be permanently attached, and has a couple of interesting 'extras' in the video: fast manual bed levelling (just set the probe above the bed at a corner/leadscrew and adjust the bed to the probe) and adjusting the nozzle in real time during the print (though I guess this only works on the first few layers, and with a metal sheet bed). I don't know if Beacon has shown this functionality before?

I think the one that @gringo linked to may pre-date the Beacon. It claims to be supported by Marlin since August 2022 and its Github repo goes back to May 2022.

I thought i already had linked to it.
You did, but the link didn't work. I posted the correct link. You have since edited your original post, with the correct link. You can see the post edit history by clicking on the small square icon next to the post date.
